PHILADELPHIA, PA, April l2.-About
fifty men in the employ Of the Bsli-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
wtrs engaged about 4 o'clock this
morning in laying trsck crossings at
Twenty fifth, Twenty-ninth and Wolf
streets, for the Delaware river extern
sion OF the road, when they were in-
terrupted by q large force OF Peansyl-
vsnis railroad men. The later forces
consisted of $50 men and eight loco
motives. Four Of the locomotives
were jumped from the Pennsylvsui a
tracks at Twenty.fifth street, where
the Baltimore and Ohio men we're at
work, completely obstruCting their
operations. The Pennsylvania men
then began to tear up the track tina,
had bsen laid, and after a struggle
with the opposing forces for about two
hours succe aded in dong go. The
The Baltimore and Ohio men made
their crossings at Twenty-ninth and
Wolf streets, but gave up the contest
at TWenty.fitth street, and about 6
o'clock there was a cessation OF hostil-
tiles and all hands withdrew. A large
force Of policemen was early on the
scene, and it is believed that their
presence alone prevented a serious
conf CT. The Supreme Court decided
that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railrc ad had a legal right
to cross the Pennsylvania track
at grade, conditioned that the Balti-
more and Ohio company thould exc
cute a bond to the Pennsylvania in
the sum of $4,000 % security for
damages to the tracks during the pro-
cess Of putting down the ross rails.
Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company say the reasons that the
Baltimore and Onio's work was stop
ped were that the Pennsylvania Raul
road Company had not been officially
informed of the Supreme Courts de-
cision, and that the Baltimore and
Ohio company had not executed a
$4,000 bond. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroads solicitor called at the Penn
sylvania railroad Office today aud ex-
prsesly stated that the track laying
last night was commenced pr%ematurely
without his knowledge, and expressed
his regret. He eaid the Baltimore and
Ohio company had no reluctlnce
about entering the $40, 90 boad that
had cauaI d the trouble.
